While speaking to Tony Pike & Rick Ucchino of Cincy 360 Jon Moxley talked about Renee Paquette AEW debut, which saw his wife getting a tremendous pop from the fanbase.
“I knew she was going to get a giant pop from the crowd. It’s funny, she asked me, ‘Should I introduce myself?’ ‘No, they know who you are. You don’t need to. Take a second or two because you’re coming out and there is going to be a giant reaction before you start talking.’ She’s like, ‘No.’ ‘I’m telling you.’
“…Sure enough. I didn’t even see it, I wasn’t looking at the monitor, I was walking down the hallway when she actually stepped out, but I knew just from the sound of the audience, I could tell she walked out onto the stage.’ I heard a ‘AHHHH!’ That was the Renee pop, I knew it. Afterward, she was like, ‘Woah!’ ‘I told you. You gotta listen to me (Moxley). I know this game’.”
According to Moxley, Renee Paquette joining the AEW payroll was a no-brainer as she regularly visited backstage, and as a result, was on pretty friendly terms with AEW staff prior to her official arrival.
“That was really cool. She’s been around this whole time and knows people at AEW and has been backstage. It’s been like, ‘You don’t work here? You don’t appear on camera?’ It felt like a formality. ‘You should probably just work here.’”
